They can; it is not misleading.

(I am not trying to grind an axe here ... merely reporting that, for  
example, both Jena's support and TopQuadrant's support for RDFa  
starts off by applying tidy to the input which means that HTML 4 docs  
get converted into XHTML and everything works at a practical level -  
it might not be chapter and verse conformant, but it is practically  
useful)
